Explain why mess extinctions occur and why it make sense to measure geologic time between mass extinctions

Physics
1 answer:
Nastasia [14]3 years ago
3 0
Mass extinction occur from natural disasters, such as a n asteroid hitting earth or a volcano errupting and spread ash everywhere.

It makes sense to measure geologic time between mass extinctions because after each mass extinction, there is almost no life left and the few left have to repopulate, which may lead way to new mutations and new varieties of plants and animals.

A quantity found by multiplying the force by the distance moved
Andrej [43]
The quantity that is calculated from the product of the force and the distance traveled due to the force is called work.  It has SI units of Joules (J) which is equivalent to Newton-meter (N-m). It is the energy that happens when an object is being moved by an external force.

. Two identical vehicles traveling at the same speed are made to collide with barriers in an insurance company collision test. T
Serggg [28]

Answer:

F₁ / F₂ = 10

therefore the first out is 10 times greater than the second barrier

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the relationship between momentum and momentum.

         I = F t = Δp

in this case the final velocity is zero

        F t = 0 -m v₀

        F = m v₀ / t

in order to answer the question we must assume that the two vehicles have the same mass and speed

concrete barrier

        F₁ = -p₀ / 0.1

        F₁ = - 10 p₀

barrier collapses

         F₂ = -p₀ / 1

let's look for the relationship of the forces

        F₁ / F₂ = 10

therefore the first out is 10 times greater than the second barrier

The law of universal gravitation states that any two objects in the universe, without exception,
STatiana [176]
A. attract each other.

The Law of Universal Gravitation discusses the phenomenon of gravity. Remember that gravity is the force that keeps us on Earth; the Earth pulls us down, and our bodies pull back.  Gravity is the force of attraction, so the correct answer is a).

What happens to energy and frequency of a wave if its wavelength increases?
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Waves can be measured using wavelength and frequency. ... The distance from one crest to the next is called a wavelength (λ). The number of complete wavelengths in a given unit of time is called frequency (f). As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease.
